directv gemini power saving feature?

i can't wrap my brain around this!!! i mean why does he want the gemini on 24-7. is t.v. that important that he's afraid he might miss something waiting a micro second for everything to turn on. and tivo's been dead for a while now..

He wants the Gemini to stay on even with the TV off. Hard to watch the Gemini without a TV being on.
